Making stuff easier #1 - Automatic paydays

[Tony_Alinari]

I know that I will be getting a lot of crap on this.

We have discussed this at length whenever veteran players are in-game. I know rookies will find it discouraging. But how many rookies are there? 9-10? What about the rest of the population? I also know that our aim was to make things hard for everyone.

It isn't good to discuss this in-game so I wish to bring this topic here. Also, I don't want to write a lot as this is very easy to understood.

All citizens of Argonath that didn't commit crime and didn't die in one day(in-game day) gets $50 payday at 12 AM. This will only trigger if there are more than 4 players in the server.

If they die they can consider that the govt. paid $50 for the medical bills. If they die twice - govt. will deduct $50 from the account. And so on.... I think $50 is not a big amount.

Discuss...

Paying $50 on your second death and beyond? I don't like this as it will start to take away the possibility of roleplays. To me, it's like having to pay for a roleplay if you die. I don't see any beneficial value for implementing such a feature.

Seems pointless to me. I'd rather do Trucking and Garbage collector job and earn way more than just $50. Plus, not many people will benefit since the game itself is a game where you commit crimes. No one will even care to not commit a crime just to get that $50. And if there were, what like 2-3 players?

Waiting all day for a $50 payday?

(Yes I know this is VC)

Stuff is easier when paydays and taxdays are handled properly by level 5 admin ingame.

Forcing people to wait for a payday at a specified time is going to lead to users idling in the server all day, which is what happened in SA:MP a few years back when people waited for Developers and Managers+ to spam paydays via command. This won't be beneficial to anyone, and gives those in the server at those specific times an advantage over others who can't be online then.

If Argo was a community where everyone lived in the same time zone then this wouldn't be as big of a deal, but it is a worldwide community, so timezones will greatly affect the usage of this.

I already do several paydays every day. This is unnecessary.
